Examples

Adelphi, he became aware of a man before him, wearing a slouch-hat and a greatcoat -- a man who appeared to choose the densest part of the throng, to prefer to be rubbed against and hustled rather than not.

He recognized the owner, Dr. Bagby, from his pictures: a lean man of sixty with a sallow complexion, a gray mustache like a rat-tail, a broad, black countrified slouch-hat on the back of his head, a gray sack-suit which would have been respectable but unfashionable at any period whatsoever.
